USNS Cesar Chavez (T-AKE-14)
- Named after civil right activist.
USS Gabrielle Giffords (LCS-10)
- Named after a politician who got shot by maniac and survived it.
USS Lyndon B. Johnson (DDG-1002)
- Named after politician who served 8 months in Navy during WWII mostly as bureaucrat. Was observer in aborted (mechanical problem) recon mission and got Silver Star for it. If that mission was so dangerous why nobody else got a medal?

Somebody should keelhaul Mr. Mabus ASAP!

EDIT: I know Mr. Johnson was a president but in my opinion that shouldn't automatically get ship named after you.
